This party is AMAZING. I've been hearing about it for the last few years and finally decided it was time to go check it out... and am I ever glad I did. The one thing that really sets this show apart from the others is the sheer number of bike builders out there. Real honest to God fabricators, finaglers, masters of duck tape, back yard mechanics and guys with just a shed behind their house they turned into a place to practice their favorite hobby... building motorcycles.

The bikes out here blew my mind. Chrome? Paint jobs worth more than my house? People washing their motorcycles because they saw a speck of dust on it? Your head's bending the wrong way. Start thinking guy with a welder who stole some shit out of a scrap yard and got creative... then rode it hard and hung it up wet after a 2,800 mile three day weekend and and your on the right track. Real grass roots builders, you've gotta love it.

It's not just an amazing bike show and people showing off what they've built, it's also one ass kickin' party. Hard rockin' bands, run what you brung 1/4 mile drag strip, mini bike races, roller derby girls, the chicks from combat boots and hula hoops, a huge painted ladies contest, a custom built motorcycle give away and wild wet t shirt contests every night... they had it all, and more!

This is one great party. The crowd is young, the energy is high, the bike builders are all the next generation of real back yard wrench monkeys and the entire weekend is rocking. I loved and would do it again in a heartbeat. The only bad thing is they only have one party a year, so make sure and catch their 2012 show next June, you won't regret it.
